Does this excuse what he did? Hell no! But then no one has said there should be leniency.

Re: Obama Suggests Still Possible Hasan May Have Cracked Under Stress

This is why I hate Wall Street speculators. Because regardless of what info we THINK we have, if we speculate wrong, then the ****storm is only going to harder and faster. Not saying that anyone in this thread is necessarily wrong, but we sure are doing a lot of speculating for one side or the other...

But WHY would he be under stress if it wasn't for the very reasons he actually stated being his religion???

leniency was never the argument.

Selective suggestions on the cause is.

I just object to people ignoring the one cause that actually has evidence to support it from his past and testimony from others and embracing those that have no evidence to support them.

At any rate, I think this thread has run its course.

Worst Case Scenario time:
Maybe he jumped the gun on a unified attack. Maybe he failed another attack and going back his buddies would surely mean doom. Maybe by going back that would automatically have failed his Jihad or stalled it for longer than he was willing to wait. There are plenty of crazy ideas to support this. Should we believe them? No. Should we write them off completely? No.
